Welcome to Gaia! ::

His mane over his eyes again Sterling was having a hard time seeing where he was going. He shook his head to clear his sight only to have those sparkles get in the way. It was still surprising to him that he had his mother’s strange sparkles. It was really something he felt was particularly manly and it embarrassed him to no end. Still it didn’t matter what he looked like, at least that’s what he kept telling himself. He wanted to be a strong sturdy soul like his father so that everyone would be able to look past his rather glamorous appearance to the one below. He didn’t know if he was really qualified to be a knight but he wanted to be. That’s why he was headed to the city for a change. He wanted to find an instructor in the city who would allow him to train under them until he was able to join the guard at the edge of the neutral lands.

His hooves made small crunching noises occasionally as he stepped on the stones that marked the edge of the road. He found that with his mane in the way all the time traveling along the edge of the road was easier than shaking his head all the time to try and see.

A shout caused Sterling Star to stop and turn his head cocking his ears to the sound. He tossed his head and got a glimpse of a mare with wings. At least that’s what he was pretty sure he saw before his mane flopped back in front of his eyes and the sparkles when he could see really didn’t help much either. “Greetings.” He bowed his head deeply just in case it really had been a mare he saw. “I am Sterling Star. Might I learn who so kindly got my attention?” He did not approach the other azrein but let them stay at a distance they felt comfortable. He was used to living with Lady Dea and her herd of bonded so he found that letting the other party maintain their set idea of distance helped solve the problem of getting ‘too close’ or trying to figure out just how far away one could be without being rude. He flipped his head again trying to get a better image for who he was speaking with. This glimpse let him catch a bit more. It was a lovely mare with very strange wings talking to him. He considered moving off the road to talk, but there were no other travelers so it wouldn’t hurt to stay where they were for a while.

Ugh. Yes he was bright as a star. That was almost as bad as calling him cute. Stiffling his internal plea for someone to recognize he actually had muscles and was male he flopped his mane back again hearing her coming closer. “That’s a very interesting name Miss Rollini.” He really couldn’t get very good look at her which was making him feel very frustrated. “um Miss Rollini just a moment. I really can’t get a good look at you like this. This will look a bit odd but bear with me please.” He turned his head to the side and lowered it so that his bangs would be pulled forward and he could ‘peek’ out even it mean dealing with those dratted sparkles.

Calling a complete stranger just by their name felt very rude to him but if it was what she wanted than he supposed he would comply that was polite right? He blushed which was visible even though his eyes were covered when he straightened up. It was odd have someone follow his head movements like that. “I uh… er. Yes.”He shook his head. “Still even if my bangs where short I do not think it would matter much due to the brightness of the sparkles. They can be a bit.. distracting so I would end up with scrapes either way Miss Rollini.” He shook his head. “ah sorry Rizzo.”
